ST. PAUL, Jan. ~, 1887.
This was a busy working day for the
legislature and in spite of the big carnival
street parade this afternoon both branches
held afternoon as we'll as morning sessions
am glad to report that Mrs. Packard's bill

has passed both houses. Mrs. Packard can
count Minnesota as the twenty third State
where she has rendered it impossible for the
grievous wrong she suffered in Illinois to be
repeated. The Normal schools are forging

I would predict that Gross will have to get
and Capt. Snider get there Three tenn

One was offered by Representative Mattson

in cities Of 10000 or over, $500. & Mr..

however, had unique bill forbidding the
sale of liquor within three miles of any
school. Ifthis bill passes, Jackson county
can be made prohibition region by a ju.

afternoon the house debated the $500 and
81 600 high license bill which was set down
as special order, but did not complete the
work and will have another forensic tilt on
the subject next Thursday afternoon. Out
Of 80 bills introduced in the house only sew

ST. PAUL, Jan. 20, 1887.

ST. PAUL, Jan. 29, 1887.
The Senate only held one session to-day
and that was dull one so far as matters OF
state Importance are concerned. There was
nothing said about the impure air OF the
chamber. the oil inspector was given
a rest and even the railroads were given a
breathing spell, so that their officers can at
tend church tomorrow and give thanks for
being let alone one day more. The railroads
like Jeff Davis on a memorable occasion, are
simply asking to be let alone and they cal
culate that every day they escape increases
their chances for defeating adverse gisla-
ton.
The House held two sessions but the morn
ing one was as dull as the Senate The after
noon session was enlivened by the Henne-
pin county election contest and the result
was, as surmised yesterday, in favor of Capt.
Snider. The report of the committee show
ed that the vote had been counted three
times and each time with different result.
The committee finally concluded that Snider
(Rep:) had 1864, Merrill (Labor) 1858 and
Gross (Dem.) 1852 and SO reported unani-
mously. There was no charge of fraud on
either side and no attempt made to throw
out votes. 1t was pure question OF matn-
ematics and at least two members OF the
election committee declared that they were
but signed it out Of courtesy. The unani-
| nous report did the business and by vote
| of 81 to 20 Snider was given the seat and
sworn in. never saw an election contest be-
fore which hinged on the abstruse problem
whether and 9 make or whether they
make 5. Donnelly's free market bill went
through to-day "by large majority"
| This shows the farmers are on deck in the
house at least and the railroads and eleva-
| tors will have to turn their batteries on the
Senate if they hope for salvation.
| The Senate railroad committee had an in
teresting meeting this afternoon, at which
Gen. Barrett of Grant county, represent
ing the Farmers Alliance and j. J. Hill,
president of the Manitoba road were the
chief orators. Senator Hixoh's bill com
polling railroads to allow transfers of cars
| from one company to another was the topic
considered. No action was taken but q
pretty sharp debate took place between the
parties named.

A Heiiiav Tale.
Ist. John s Herald.l

The wonderful intelligence of Henry Bants's dog, which was recorded Tn the columns of the Herald several weeks ago, hss set the rival tongues of canine owners to vsgsing. An attAche of the
 Herald office, who is the owner of g large unusually intelligent animal. re- lates thst his dog chased a chIpmuDk into a hollow piece of timber, and after vsiDly endsavorirg to get the lttle cres- ,ure from its hiding place, he deliberate ly took the piece of timber in his mouth and carried 1t to R stream of water near by. aud after placing 1t ID the stream
 submerged 1t with bis feet. until the chipmunk was compelled to run out. when he caught and killed it. The gen
 tleman also vOuches for the following exhibition of apologetic intelligence by
 the same dog. He says that a Mexican came to his ranch on a certain occasion and the dog made a vigorous attack upon hlm, tearing out large fragment from the rear of hls unmentIonsblGs The dog was called of, quieted and severely scolded for his want of hospitality. which caused him to crawl of to his kennel in shame and mor'ificstIon. After the Mexican had retired the dog came in. took in his mouth a needle sld thread sticking ID the wall. gathered up the dilspidsted pants, together with the torn fragment, and carried thep' all to his master, and then quietly took his seat snd awaited the repair of the gar ment, that he might restore them 10 tbe place he had found them. We believe it will ba difficult to cite an instance of more remarkable courteous intelligence.

A blaze was discovered ID the Mint saloon, on Congress street, belong ing to Mir. E. Hartman, and was occa- stoned undoubtedly by rats getting among the matches kept in a cupboard beneath the shelves. The blaze made slow headway and did but 6 small amount of damage; the bottled hquors and cigars being injured chiefly.
